Pilot Study for the Evaluation of Food Choices in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (MICI2021)

Study Purpose

This project is a pilot study exploring the effects of dietary choices and quantitative digestion of gluten ingested by individuals with IBD compared to a control population. The aim of the study is to evaluate for the first time in an Italian population of subjects with IBD the presence of a diet based on GFD (gluten free diet).

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Subjects with IBD will be recruited among the patients referred to the IBD clinic of the Policlinico of Milan. These patients are subject to annual check-ups during which, where possible, they will be asked to sign an informed consent. These patients are subjected during the visits of normal clinical follow-up to:

  • - Questionnaire on eating habits for the patient with IBD versus control patients; - Modified Food Habits Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), validated for the celiac population.
The questionnaire assesses the extent, frequencies of consumption and quantity of gluten-containing foods in a year; this, in order to estimate the average introduction of gluten through the diet versus control patients;
  • - Anthropometric and plicometric analysis; - Validated clinical activity questionnaires for RCU (ulcerative rectocolitis) and CD (Chron disease) (Mayo Score and Harvey-Bradshaw Index).
